Caution!!!
3 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 pound chicken tenderloins, or chicken breast cut into ½ inch wide strips or chunks
1/3 cup ketchup
¼ cup chicken broth
1 Tablespoon chili-garlic sauce (check Chinese food section of grocery store)
1 teaspoon sugar
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
1 jalapeno chili cut into thin strips
1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into thin strips
½ small yellow onion, cut into thin strips
Up to 8 small dried red chilies (very hot)
Green onion for topping
Combine soy sauce and cornstarch. Add chicken and mix to coat well. Let stand 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine ketchup, chicken broth, chili-garlic sauce and sugar. Mix well. Set aside.
Heat oil in stir fry pan over high heat. Add jalapeno and dried chilies. Cook, stirring constantly, until dried chilies begin to brown, about 15 seconds.
Add chicken, peppers, and onion. Cook until chicken is cooked through, about 3 – 4 minutes.
Add sauce. Bring to a boil and stir to coat chicken completely.
It is recommended that you remove any of the dried chilies before serving. They are very hot. Wash hands thoroughly after handling any hot peppers. Then wash them again. Seriously.
Optional – top with sliced green onion
